Documentary following Marybell MacIntyre from South Uist as she knits an Eriskay jumper to give to the pope at the Vatican in Rome as an Easter gift.
Tha meas air a bhith aig M脿iribell Nic an t-Saoir 脿 Uibhist a Deas dha dualchas fighe nan Eilean Siar, agus gu s貌nraichte dhan gheansaidh sh貌nraichte 脠irisgeach fad greis.
Chan e fighe furasta a tha na l霉ib agus as deidh dhi ionnsachadh mu mar bha thu ga dh猫anamh bho bhuidheann de bhoireannaich air 脠irisgeigh fh猫in aig a bheil fios a-mh脿in mun che脿ird phr矛seil seo, cho-dh霉in i gun robh an ath phr貌iseact a bha fa-near dhith gu bhith dha-r矛reibh s貌nraichte.
Tha a creideamh Caitligeach air a bhith a-riamh f矛or chudromach dhi, agus aig toiseach 2015, 's air a misneachadh le l猫irsinn agus mothachadh a' Ph脿pa 霉r, th貌isich i air Geansaidh 脠irisgeach a dhealbhaich i airson 'Iasgair nan Daoine' fh猫in, agus i an d貌chas a thoirt dha mar phreusant C脿isge san Vatican san R貌imh.
Ann an Geansaidh a' Ph脿pa leanaidh sinn M脿iribell air a turas pr矛seil pearsanta, agus innsidh sinn cuideachd sgeulachd a' gheansaidh sh貌nraichte seo.
Marybell MacIntyre from South Uist has, for a long time, had a passion for the knitting heritage of the Hebrides and in particular the unique Eriskay jumper.
Having learnt how to knit the complex pattern for the jumper traditionally knitted for fishermen, from a group of older women on Eriskay itself who remain the sole custodians of this art form, Marybell decided that her next knitting project would be a truly special one.
Her Cathlolic faith has long been important to her and in early 2015, inspired by the new pope's visionary and approachable attitude, Marybell started to knit an Eriskay jumper specifically designed for 'the fisher of people', her plan being to then present it to him at the Vatican in Rome as an Easter gift.
The Pope's Eriskay Jumper follows Marybell's unique personal journey and also tells the story of what is a unique garment.
